This past Sunday (Valentine's Day), Star Trek fans gathered together on the Millennium Bridge in London, England to both celebrate the launch of Star Trek Online and to set the world record for 'largest gathering of Star Trek fans dressed in character'. 99 participants all dressed as their favorite characters, officiated by Guinness World Records with assistance from fans like Giles Aston who is also a professional 'Captain Jean-Luc Picard' impersonator (as seen in the video) to verify costume quality. The event was truly - as Spock would say - fascinating. However, this was the first time Guinness World Records editors were called to record such an event, so there's no way of knowing how it compares to various Star Trek conventions.

Just like E3, PAX 2009 is filled with people dressed in costumes. While PAX's official policy is to discourage exhibitors from having booth babes, we noticed a few exhibitors who did bring in some ladies in costume. However they were vastly outnumbers by the regular PAX attendees who wanted to dress up like Mario or a Team Fortress 2 character class or a zombie nurse.

We went around the exhibit hall area to check out both the booth models and the cosplayers who showed up. Some of the costumes were very inventive and others . . . well, let's just say they need some work. Ironically we also saw people who wanted attention outside the PAX 2009 convention center. A few folks were standing around asking people if they could give up their PAX badges.
